Daisy Bates (1863-1951) spent her life caring for the Aborigines in the far outback of Western Australia and South Australia.
For sixteen years, from 1919 to 1935, she lived alone in her tent on the Nullarbor Plain, a spectacle of wonder in her formal old-fashioned clothes to passengers on the Trans-Continental Express as it paused to gasp for water ay Ooldea Siding.
Though she related some of her experiences in The Passing of the Aborigines, the full story of her life has never been told until now. (book flap)
